My mum is the greatest. No, I swear! Having E enter our lives at such a pivotal moment has not shaken her one bit. In this age of MySpace and blogging, my mom calmly sits on the lake in her boat with her laptop reading up on not only MY ramblings, but also the wild life of a 16 yr old girl - and never once judges or critics. I am very proud that E will be able to integrate peacefully into my existing family. It is quite the matriarchy with us - the women determine how things will proceed. E will be accepted with open arms into a family that has loved her from the moment she was born. How lucky are E & I?!

I grew up in a family of women. My grandmother lived with me my entire life at home. She really was my second mother. I'm thankful for that. It's a privilege not many get anymore. Yeah, yeah. Rambling. I do that sometimes. It's the woman in me.

My mom is a traditionalist, and she has blown me away before with an open mind that I didn't know existed. I'm thrilled that you're mom is so accepting and open, but I'm not surprised.......Moms are really mind blowing sometimes...
